Course Description

This is the first semester of a yearlong seminar designed to enhance students' understanding of ethical issues and address the broader ethical and moral responsibilities of the lawyer as citizen and leader. This course will examine a number of high profiles cases of fraud, as described in non-fiction books, articles, and other media. Several of the cases will be drawn from the business world, but we will consider fraud in other contexts as well.
